'What every soul wants' by Nipa Shah is a heartfelt and thought provoking book. In this race of life people have lost control over their mind and bodies. So working for soul or prioritising it , is not even expected. This book will guide you for the journey inwards.

This book is divided into various chapters with each chapter touching various aspects of what soul seeks. Each chapter ends with reflective prompts and gives readers time to introspect.

Reading this is like reading Bhagvad Gita in a concise way. All the answers regarding soul and karma are present in this book. It throws light on how our actions and reactions play an important role in determining our future. Our Karma passes through each birth . By doing good deeds we can alleviate karmic debts and vice versa. The purpose of our soul is to be liberated from this vicious cycle of life and death. It wants to be one with universe.

Nipa Shah' s writing style is so impactful. The language is so simple which makes it easy to comprehend. These concepts which I generally find heavy are told with a very subtle manner . This book made me reflect on how even one single negative thought can alter our soul' journey.

This is the book which need to be savoured slowly and with patience. It will open a new world where this body does not exist but only souls.

When I first opened What Every Soul Wants: Deep Reflections on the Nature of Our Soul, I wasn’t looking for a quick fix—I was seeking a companion on a deeper journey. From the elegant cover to the inviting layout, Nipa Shah immediately sets the tone for an exploration that balances heartfelt spirituality with practical guidance. I felt as though I was embarking on a 21‑day inward pilgrimage rather than simply reading a book.

Engaging Spiritual Depth
Shah’s writing is deceptively simple yet profound. She interweaves philosophical insights on the soul’s immortality and the karmic forces that shape our experiences with everyday language that feels accessible. Rather than drowning in abstract theory, I found myself nodding along as she broke down concepts like the “four destructive emotions—anger, greed, deceit, pride” and illuminated how mastering them fosters inner balance. This clarity kept me engaged whether I was a beginner or an advanced seeker.

Interactive Exercises & Reflective Design
What truly sets this book apart for me are the end‑of‑chapter prompts. Each segment closes with journaling templates, quotes, and action steps that encouraged me not just to read, but to pause and integrate the lesson. For example, after studying non‑attachment, I found myself writing down moments from my day where I’d clung too tightly to expectations—and then consciously choosing to let them go. These reflective “action pages” turned the book into a living practice rather than a passive read.

Core Themes Explored
Karmic Influence: Shah elaborates on how subtle imprints of past actions steer our thoughts and reactions. I appreciated her breakdown of the “fourteen stages of purification,” which gave me a clear roadmap for shedding negative karma.

Non‑Attachment: Through real‑world examples, I learned to distinguish between healthy engagement and harmful clinging—a shift that immediately eased my everyday anxieties.

Mindfulness & Thought Mastery: Practical grounding techniques (like the 5‑4‑3‑2‑1 sensory exercise) and thought‑journaling tips made the process of calming a racing mind feel achievable.

Aesthetic & Structural Harmony
Beyond the ideas themselves, I fell in love with the book’s journal‑style format. Tranquil illustrations and spacious layouts felt like gentle invitations to reflection, not overwhelming walls of text. The design choices—soft images, clear headings, and calming white space—made every chapter feel like a retreat, encouraging me to linger on each exercise rather than rush forward.

Personal Impact & Takeaways
By the end of the book, I noticed subtle but lasting changes: my reactions to stress became calmer, I started greeting uncomfortable emotions with curiosity instead of resistance, and my long‑term goals felt more aligned with my inner values. Perhaps most importantly, I learned that the soul’s deepest desires are surprisingly universal—peace, clarity, and connection—and that—through consistent inner work—those desires can be met in daily life.

Conclusion: A Companion for the Soul
What Every Soul Wants is not a one‑and‑done read; it’s a guide you’ll revisit whenever life’s complexities call for grounding. In my experience, it became both mirror and mentor—reflecting my inner patterns while gently nudging me toward growth. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone yearning for a structured yet soulful path to lasting inner peace and self‑understanding.

It’s like a calming guide for your inner turmoil, helping you finally make sense of that jumble called “life” and find a bit of peace along the way.

This book is a gentle but profound dive into spirituality and karma. Shah doesn’t just toss around fancy concepts but explains how karma affects everything from your random thoughts to your deepest relationships. Think of it as life’s handbook with a side of soul-soothing wisdom.

What You’ll Learn:
- Karma: Understand how those “why does this always happen to me” moments might be your karma at play.
- Master Your Emotions: Get practical tips on handling emotions, especially when you want to yell at the nearest available target.
- Thought Control: Learn how to tame your inner chatter – it’s not easy, but hey, peace is worth the effort.
- Silence Is Golden: Discover the power of silence (and we’re not talking about the awkward kind!).
- Embrace Non-Attachment: Let go of the things that don’t serve you, and hold on to the things that do… loosely.

Nipa Shah wraps her wisdom in simple, relatable language that speaks to readers at all stages of their spiritual journey. Whether you’re a soul-searching beginner or just need a mental declutter, this book has something for you. It’s not only insightful, but it also has that rare, grounding quality that makes you want to pause and think deeply.

What Every Soul Wants is an insightfully introspective book on the profound nature of the soul and its connection with karma. It is not one of those books that you read; it is the kind you set out on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth with. It is not just philosophy; it contains practical exercises on developing mindfulness and clarity of an ongoing process rather than just one of reading.

The book balances deep spirituality with a lightness of expression that will make it useful for anyone, from the beginning to an advanced level of spiritual practice. Its structure, with reflective exercises at the end of each chapter, supports deep personal integration of the material. These are not ancillary to the text, but an organic part of the book's mission to take the reader to a quieter mind and a better-fed soul.

However, that is also the strength of this book; it demands active participation and contemplation. It is not for those looking for instant solutions or making superficial understandings. It weighs one down with the need to spend time and patience in order to soften foreboding inner demons of yore. Not exorcise, but soften. The design of the book - its journal-type sections and tranquil images - make an excellent pairing with the content, rendering the overall reading experience yet more sublime.

Ultimately, more than a spiritual guide, each day What Every Soul Wants is going to feel like a companion for those committed to deep practices of understanding and lasting inner peace. It's a book to come back to over time, again and again in ways that you'll see new layers of meaning and new insights.

This books according to me is the most straightforward book that deals with the highest form of self-actualization and spirituality. The book directly delves in to the mist complex idea of what soul is like. From there, it ranges to various topics like composition of soul, karma, self-reflection, attachments, purity, divinity and many more.

The best part about the book I feel is that this is a proper guide to people who are looking for some way to understand about the soul and spirituality in the best way possible. The book is such a no buttering and beating around the bush kind of one where one gets what they seek easily. The book is a direct arrow to what it intends with ample opportunity for one to work on themselves. Every chapter is a new beginning and clarification with self-reflective exercises and questions.

Being this good, I guess the biggest pros of this book itself is its biggest con that the book is not meant for everyone. The book has a target audience and so, it can only cater them. Apart from catering spiritualists, the book is meant for high end spiritualists as far as I could understand; making it easier for you- every person in their spiritual journey is at different levels and so people at the initial stage and intermediate level might find it hard to navigate through the book. The book is a high end specialized one for people who have reached to a point in life where they keenly focus on themselves and on their spirituality. Thus, this one might not suit everyone.

But definitely worth a try. The book can be an asset to people in their later spiritual journey without much doubt.

📌What comes to your mind when you hear the word SOUL? You might even tend to wonder whether the soul exits or its just some theory. But that’s not what this book tends to offer.

📌Infact, this book gives a terrific analysis of the human experience touching on the relationship between the soul and the physical body’s needs and wants. Among other things, it talks about karma and self reflection which may help the reader understand better how the laws of the universe works. With its structured approach, each chapter sheds light on a different aspect of spiritual growth, making it an engaging read for both beginners and seasoned seekers.

📌It’s impressive how the author manages to explain complex philosophical ideas such as karmic cleaning and the working of one’s mind. The writing invites deep reflection while remaining accessible, blending timeless wisdom with relatable examples from modern life.

📌The aspect that makes the bulk of this book unorthodox is how to free the soul through silence and mind control. “The Power of Quietude”, “The Solitude of the Soul”, holds the absolute truth that the reader will find every ounce of stillness and transparency in the text. These statements appeal to the cognition rather than the emotions as they are grounded in core values of sympathy, kindness, forgiveness and awareness.

📌In all, this book is a very enriching read that calls for self awareness and spiritual growth. Whether you are studying the nature of the soul or need tools to navigate through life’s challenges, this book is a gentle yet powerful guide. The approach will resonate with anyone who yearns for a deeper connection with themselves and the universe.

I recently completed an incredibly insightful book titled "What Every Soul Wants" by Nipa Shah, which delves into the profound desires of our souls and how we can nurture them to align our perspectives on life. The book serves as a guide, helping readers explore the intricate web of karma and the lasting impact of our actions, thoughts, and intentions. Nipa effectively unpacks complex concepts such as karmic imprints and the relationship between our eternal soul and the transient body, emphasizing their significance in our everyday lives.

Throughout the text, Nipa skillfully navigates the journey of spiritual growth and self-improvement. She explores behavioral shifts that can lead to a deeper understanding of how our actions and intentions play a crucial role in shaping our experiences. One particularly enlightening aspect is her discussion on letting go of attachments and recognizing the various manifestations of karma. This exploration encourages readers to embrace a multitude of perspectives, inviting them to take an introspective dive into their own lives.

What I found especially captivating was the book's structure. Each chapter begins with a thought-provoking quote, followed by reflective food for thought, an in-depth exploration of the chapter's concept, and stunning illustrations that enhance the reading experience. Additionally, Nipa includes a self-reflection and action page at the end of each chapter, prompting readers to contemplate their thoughts and actions in relation to the preceding material. This interactive element fosters a deeper engagement with the concepts discussed, encouraging personal growth and accountability.

I picked up What Every Soul Wants without expecting much—but a few pages in, I was drawn in. This book offers more than just spiritual insight; it’s a quiet, heartfelt guide to help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

Nipa Shah explores how our actions, behaviors, and mindsets shape the course of our lives. Through the lens of karma and self-awareness, she gently guides readers to see the ripple effects of their choices. One of the most eye-opening lessons was how often we excuse our wrongdoings by blaming situations—when in truth, it’s our own mindset that sets the tone for our lives.

This book doesn’t ask to be read quickly. It asks you to pause. Every chapter ends with reflection prompts that encourage you to think deeply, journal, and truly engage with what you've just read. It’s a powerful tool for emotional clarity and spiritual growth.
Shah’s writing is simple but meaningful—accessible to readers no matter where they are on their journey. Whether you’re just beginning to explore the idea of karma, or you're looking to reconnect with your inner self, this book meets you with compassion and wisdom.

📖 Read this if you’re looking for something to slow you down, make you reflect on your actions, and deepen your understanding of how karma truly works. It’s a book that invites stillness in a busy world and encourages healing through honesty.

Spirituality is a deep topic that takes time to understand fully. I haven't read much about spirituality or karma, but I do believe in the idea that what we do comes back to us—'Jaisi karni waisi bharni.' However, there's more to it than just that. There are six important truths that explain the soul's existence, its immortality, and its role in carrying karma. Our actions and choices affect our mental and emotional well-being. This book can help you understand these ideas better.

This book offers deep insights into the soul's nature, its eternal existence, and how karma affects our lives. It goes beyond theory, showing how karma shapes our experiences, emotions, and relationships. What makes it special is the practical advice on spirituality. The author emphasizes the importance of non-attachment, controlling emotions, and mastering thoughts to achieve lasting peace and spiritual growth.

Some takeaways are soul is eternal and carries the weight of my actions across lifetimes It showed me practical ways to apply spiritual principles, like non-attachment and emotional control and  mastering emotions is crucial for achieving lasting inner peace.

It's a great read for anyone on a spiritual journey, those curious about karma, or anyone wanting to better understand the soul.

What Every Soul Wants by Nipa Shah offers profound insights into the essence of the soul and its journey toward self-discovery and transformation. Shah crafts this book as both a guide and journal, encouraging readers to introspect and grow.

The narrative begins by distinguishing between pure and impure souls, addressing the impact of karma and thought patterns on personal well-being. It highlights four destructive emotions—anger, greed, deceit, and pride—and explores ways to master these for a balanced life. Shah also delves into the nature of suffering, explaining how intentions and karmic interactions shape one’s experiences.

One standout chapter discusses silence and its transformative power, while another examines attachment versus possession, helping readers navigate emotional challenges. The book introduces the fourteen stages of purification and provides tools to manage positive and negative karma.

In addition to exploring themes like ego, happiness, influence, regrets, and self-control, each chapter begins with key messages, followed by a reflective section. The self-reflection templates act as practical exercises, making the book both engaging and action-oriented.

This meticulously written work offers readers a unique lens into karma, healing, and harmony, guiding them toward a journey of inner peace and meaningful transformation.

Every chapter ends with self analysing questions that you need to answer in order to get to know yourself better. The best part is the beautiful illustrations.This read gave me a sense of peace within.It mainly focuses on the Karma , you will get to know various aspects of your actions and intentions.. I got a clear view of some confusing similar terms like non attachment vs detachment, Self control vs self restraint ,Righteousness vs self righteousness , Solitude vs isolation etc. I liked how short stories were used to make the readers understand better.I now understand that our mind is like a volcano really unpredictable, it works in mysterious ways .
For me the most interesting part was the soul spectrum and i think I belong somewhere between grey and red hue.
Even though I don't read much self help books, this one is really different . I really loved reading this book. .Every non fiction lovers should read this book and even if you don't read much non fiction , you should give it a try, it's worth it.

Exploring Karma's Influence Navigating Pain, Cultivating Joy, and Attaining Peace of Mind
It’s a soulful companion, a mirror to your inner truth, and a gentle guide through the depths of healing and reflection.
With every chapter beginning like your soul is speaking to you this book teaches me to pause, reflect, and feel seen. The self-reflection prompts and daily soul food aren't just activities they’re transformational practices.

What every soul truly wants?
Not just peace, but awareness, depth, honesty, and daily connection to the self. This book delivers it softly but powerfully.

Personally, I’m giving it four stars only because I read the Kindle edition, and for some reason maybe formatting or display I found it difficult to read properly. But that doesn't change the magic of the content.
If you’re planning to read this, I’d highly recommend buying the physical copy for a better experience and full impact.

Book Review: What Every Soul Wants by Nipa Shah

What Every Soul Wants by Nipa Shah is a beautifully written guide for anyone on a spiritual journey. It thoughtfully explains the concept of karma and how it influences our actions, emotions, and life experiences. Unlike many spiritual books filled with heavy, complex language, this one feels like a warm, personal conversation with the author.

Each chapter begins with insightful quotes and is accompanied by illustrations, making the reading experience more engaging. The use of simple metaphors and relatable daily examples makes even profound concepts easy to understand and apply to real life.

One of my favorite parts of the book is the end of each chapter, which includes a section on self-reflection and journaling. It serves as a recap and offers readers a chance to pause, rethink, and internalize the key ideas. Topics such as self-awareness, greed, gratitude, and attachment are explained in a way that really made me reflect on my own actions and mindset.

I highly recommend this book if you're seeking spiritual guidance or simply want a deeper insight into life and your inner self. It’s a gentle yet powerful read that leaves a lasting impact.
